If you go to this post here you'll get alot of useful info, this is a fantastic little tablet-laptop, I bought one last time and am so impressed. It's quite fast, has good battery and takes all the games I've tried fine, apart from the latest gen ones of course

user of one here! I use it for FM2015 on the train when going marketing. I recently installed portal and life is strange on it and both ran fine too. turn based games like panzer tactics hd or xcom great too. can also plug it into a monitor with hdmi cable and run office! main selling point for me is 8 hour battery life. unique feature. I have dual booted it with android via remixos though had to uninstall as couldn't get it to run from external memory card, only internal card, and then I ran out of space. could always try again with smaller partition size or see if they have fixed that 'bug'. highly recommended. oh... I also use it for steam play from my desktop computer to my bedroom. watching sports etc is easier with a full pc than tablets as has full 'flash'. Netflix great on it as it is windows 8 so get the full 1080p 5.1 hdmi out app. Oh just seen this version is 64gb. mine is 32gb. so remixos would work great! damn

But if you see carefully, all of those negative bar 2 were for the 32GB Transromer T100 version which is totally different series.T100CHI is from ASUS Taichi legacy and it's their most premium series along with Zenbooks.

Amazon just merged all these modes in 1 listing and hence combined the reivews which confuses people.

Will this work as a laptop replacement or should I spend more on a proper laptop? Current laptop is over 7 years old and on its way out mostly used for internet and working from home.

Does anyone know if this tablet can run Quickbooks 2016 pro on it? Also can you run normal windows 10 desktop software on it?

I'd assume so for first question.

Yes for the second. Though keep in mind the slow processor and limited ram.

Anyone tell me what it charges from ...micro USB or does it have a standard "brick" type charger like the Zenbook?

​depends where and when you use it. it is very portable. great for the train and the couch. less good for serious work as a laptop as screen is small. but if you have a spare monitor and desk lying around you can plug it in. for portability and battery life i love it and use it more than bulkier laptops with bigger screens as they have smaller battery life

Would you be able to explain briefly how you installed Remox OS and were there any issues with drivers etc? Thankyou

hi i am at work so cannot write in full. the standard download didn't work..something to do with security settings on bios..i ended up stuck in a loop and had to restore back up image from windows boot up screen (thankfully I didn't wipe that!)

but there was a special page on xda developers. they had a special installer and you just pointed it to remixos image file. when I installed it on my d drive ie memory card. i couldn't boot from it. and I don't know enough about grub to edit the bootloader. so I then installed it on my c drive. that allows me to select at boot up. however i uninstalled it as i ran out of space on my c drive for windows and even though i told steam to install games on my d drive, some games didn't run as I think they need to install directx etc on c drive. so i recently wiped remixos as wanted to play a windows game with my son. i did have an 8gb android partition on 32gb c drive. this is 64gb and i could try again with a smaller android partition. i recall playing angry birds the one with cars in it.... and also netflix and scratch jr and maths planet all worked fine.

Thought this had cherry trail, had finger at the ready. Oh well.

23rd Jun 2016

Does it have front facing speakers? Just don't get it when they put speakers on the back /sides.

This will certainly be better than your 7 year old laptop, it has a decent processor for something this size, 2GB RAM is enough for mulitasking, browsing, and handling light-mid gaming, and this is a cracking price imo

'The T100 Chi has stereo speakers with the ports on the two short sides where they're positioned for landscape viewing'

Hope that helps apparently the speakers aren't bad, not bass heavy, but they're not back facing I believe

Can't have everything for just over 100 quid xD I agree, cherry trail would be nice, however this processor isn't terrible for something this size, it does beat most tablets, even if it doesn't stand up to most laptops.

But then again most laptops with more powerful processors are well above 134.99, so theres a choice to make

Can anyone explain the postage please as showing as £14.99 for delivery in a week or is it because it's charging extra for Isle of Wight? Cheers

Are you absolutely sure? Says free delivery to the whole UK, 48 hour courier, many people have bought it with that delivery

At this rate worth a try, hopefully it is all good. Had to return two tablets from Argos ebay.

Unsure whether this has already been asked: Is there a compatible case for this that anyone recommends? So many variations of tablet cases that i'm unsure which to get, also, any screen protector. Thanks in advance!

​yes 3d!! which is why i got it as tablet fm doesn't have that! i ran fm classic. think playable leagues was just prem and championship. background leagues for players was italy and spain. it was very playable! remember competing in champions league on the train home from marketing!

There is an official ASUS case and many leather/faux ones on Amazon, check out this one right here?

Got one of these on the last deal, very pleased with it.

I turned it on and done the basic setup, whilst checking for updates it offered me Windows 10 so I just installed that and never used Windows 8.1 on it. Boots quicker than my desktop PC that has a 1TB Samsung SSD in, mainly because it has a UEFI BIOS. Useable as soon as you login. Videos play without issue and webpages also scroll without problems. I've installed Chrome and it performs without problems with 4 or 5 tabs open. You can see it's using the memory up but if you're aware of it then it isn't an issue. Scrolling is smooth. Not advertised but mine came with an 'active' (battery powered) stylus and a 1 year subscription to Office 365.

Casing is metal and a lovely shade of blue. The keyboard gets a bit of criticism in the Notebook Check review but I've not had any problems with it. It's Bluetooth rather than a connector like a Surface, but it wakes up and connects very quickly. There's a utility in Windows which tells you how much battery life the keyboard has left as well. These really are a premium product, much better built than the plastic cased Lynx or HP stuff. Screen is glossy and very reflective, so not great for outdoor use or with a window directly behind you. It is an IPS screen though so good viewing angles.

The charger is via USB and will charge from pretty much any standard charger, though it's quicker with the supplied one as it does 9v @ 2amp (very odd) if it's plugged into the tablet. Standard 5v @ 2amp if using with the keyboard.

There's a (mini) USB 3 connector the side that can be used as USB3 or USB2. I've used it with an OTG cable to read a pen drive without issue.

The keyboard keys are a bit small but it doesn't take long to get used to using them, if you're going to be typing on it. Out of the box it comes scaled to 150% in Windows which makes it easier to use, though older applications don't take advantage of this so can look very small.

People have commented that they're concerned it's a previous generation CPU. The newer X8300 and X8500 do have better graphics, but on synthetic benchmarks the Z3775 comes out pretty much the same. Worth noting that this isn't using the Z3735 that seems to come in most cheaper Windows tablets.

Service from Laptopsdirect was good, first one arrived with a cracked screen (internal box was dented). Sent me a returns label and shipped me a new one.
